Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Older Ski Boat Trailer
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/19/2025
Question:
I have a vintage Mastercraft tournament ski boat from 1993. Can you advise me as to which set up I would need to install electric trailer brakes on the trailer? It has 14 inch tires and it is a single axle trailer.

Expert Reply:
Hey Don, it comes down to first figuring out what the axle capacity of your trailer is also that we can then see what parts are needed. Can you get back to me with that info? In the meantime I attached a link to a help article that covers what's needed to add brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.
